You tell me mate ?

Was the approach [ifrom[/i Leigh, or was it an unscrupulous agent's trickery ? he get's weighed in on any transactions so it'd be to his benefit to move his player around.

If you know what he was on a fax and think it wasn't good money for a championship player I don't know what is

I don't think he will go full time due to his job but you never know As someone as posted he has gone now fron Fax and I will judge him player wise when I see him in a Fev shirt for the remainder of this season but he will have to be good to get in our team the way our forwards are playing

Bet he plays Sunday... Campbell will see to that

What does he do for a living that being a full time player is not an option?

I thought he was a cold caller for Reactive?

I thought he sold insurance?

Seems as usual. People outside of Halifax know more about what goes on there

I also heard he sold insurance, whatever, good luck to Sam, despite what people better placed than I know or think about him, I have always found him a nice bloke.

Totally agree John. I don't know the ins and outs of what's gone on and don't care much for speculation. If he's been badly led then that is a shame but it happens to many.

Never had any issue with him. He's always approachable and will always say hello when he's out and about.

Everyone has praised Karl's attitude of wanting committed hard working players. If for whatever reason he feels Sam wasn't falling under that banner then it's hard to question him moving on. We'll leave him too it rather than bringing a bandwagon of hate like some Sheffield fans do whenever he lines up against them.

Quite right Brew as I have said before, I can't think of any players who left for different pastures not being welcomed back at the Shay.
Take Saturday for example, Bob Beswick, Ryan McDonald, Penky, John Fieldhouse, Dave Larder, Michael Ostick, all I am sure we're spoken to by many Fax fans.

I think that's partly down to our position near the top of our league. It's rare that a player moves to a club that is seen as higher up than ours.

When Gleeson agreed to sign for Fev then appeared the same day at The Shay signing a contract on the pitch, Fev were still on the rise as opposed to where they are now, same as when worrincy and Barlow left Sheffield for us. Many players who leave fax are ones that the coaching staff deem surplus. That or who other clubs are willing to pay more for their services.

There isn't too much a gap between the top 4 or 5 teams in this division. We'll compete for the signatures of the same players. And if an I individual leaves one club, chances are he'll wind up at another of the higher teams, unless Whitehaven or York (bith examples before anyone gets upset) push the boat out and sell their vision for growth

Sam Barlow already disrupting things at Fev.

Came on as sub, with his agent
